Chapter 440: Adventure at Miaoyinfang

After Jiang Yingying and Qi Yizheng had a competition in the yard, Qi Yizheng shut up.

"You are so good at martial arts, how could someone steal your purse?" After thinking for a long time, Qi Yizheng asked the question in his mind.

Jiang Yingying said helplessly: "Who knows? Or maybe I was just thinking about food and gave the thief a chance."

Thinking about the fifteen taels of silver worth of food she had spent in one meal, Qi Yizheng didn't want to ask anything.

Tao Yanyan watched their competition in the corridor and felt that Jiang Yingying was indeed quite skilled. More importantly, she could disguise herself as a maid and sneak in with him, so there was no need to bring Qingfeng with her to avoid putting Qingfeng in danger.

"What? I said I could go with my wife." Jiang Yingying said proudly.

Qi Yizheng glanced at her, turned around and walked to Tao Yanyan and whispered a few words. Tao Yanyan nodded and asked Qingfeng and Jiang Yingying to change their clothes, because Jiang Yingying was wearing coarse cloth, which was not suitable for the attire of a maid in a wealthy family.

Qingfeng said worriedly, "Master, let me accompany you. I'm worried." Although Jiang Yingying was good at martial arts, she was not a maid after all. And this was the first time they met, so Qingfeng was cautious.

Tao Yanyan smiled: "It's okay, we are all around, what are you worried about?" Even if he didn't trust Jiang Yingying, didn't he still have the shadow guards protecting her in secret? Tao Yanyan had no doubt about the ability of the shadow guards.

Qingfeng had no choice but to take Jiang Yingying to change clothes, and was unhappy the whole time.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife." Jiang Yingying said carelessly. She was happy that she finally had the opportunity to enter Miaoyinfang to find out the whereabouts of that thing.

"I'm telling you, you have to protect my master the whole time. There is a locked room on the third floor. My master must not be allowed to approach it. You have to remember this!" Qingfeng instructed.

Although Jiang Yingying didn't understand why, she still agreed one by one.

After helping Tao Yanyan onto the carriage, Qingfeng waited at the door for a long time.

"Your maid is really loyal. She just told me to stay by your side." Jiang Yingying said with a smile.

Tao Yanyan thought of Qingfeng's "husband-waiting rock" and smiled: "It's important to be close to people. I've been with them for a long time, so my feelings are naturally deeper. By the way, after you go in, be smart and look around to see if there are any key guarded places. Pay attention to them."

Jiang Yingying nodded. As the best thief in the martial arts world, the skill of scouting the place was a must. Moreover, in the eyes of professional thieves like them, they could often see some key places better than others.

Qi Yizheng was not idle either. He led his men to make a detour and came to the vicinity of Miaoyinfang. It seemed very far away, but in fact, as long as they passed through an alley, they could quickly reach the back door of Miaoyinfang and be ready to pick them up.

Tao Yanyan put on the mask he wore that day in Miaoyinfang, got off the carriage with the help of Jiang Yingying, and walked straight inside.

When the shopkeeper at the front desk saw that it was the Mrs. He who came, he greeted her with a smile: "Mrs. He, you are here, please come in." No matter why this Mrs. He came, she was now one of the employers, and the shopkeeper was naturally very respectful to her.

"I was passing by today, so I came in to take a look. How's business been lately?" Tao Yanyan looked around and saw that most of the people were sitting in the lobby on the first floor, and the private rooms on the second floor were also full. He was in a good mood.

"Business is pretty good, but the weather has been hot recently, so there are a few fewer customers than usual. However, some customers come here specifically to cool off, so it doesn't have much of an impact." The shopkeeper introduced as he took Tao Yanyan to the third floor.

Passing by a locked room, Jiang Yingying checked it carefully, thinking that it should be the room Qingfeng had instructed her to go, so she moved towards Tao Yanyan, wanting her to stay away from her.

Tao Yanyan noticed her action, but just smiled and said nothing.

The shopkeeper led the two to the other side of the room, opened the door and invited them in: "Madam, please sit for a moment. I will prepare tea for you. Do you want to listen to some music?"

Tao Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Is Chuchu here? If she's free, please ask her to come over."

She still had some questions to ask Chuchu, and it would be a good thing if she could get some clues from Chuchu.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately went to make arrangements.

After Jiang Yingying and others left, she stood up and looked around. She not only looked at this room, but also went out and walked around the other rooms on the third floor.

When Chuchu arrived, she saw Tao Yanyan alone in the room. She knew that the person who came was Concubine Tao. Just as she was about to pay her respects, Tao Yanyan immediately stopped her: "Okay, I don't want to reveal my identity. Please sit down."

Chu Chu heard this and sat down respectfully: "Did you come here today just to collect the money?"

Chuchu poured Tao Yanyan a cup of tea and asked carefully.

"It's not all about collecting money." Tao Yanyan took a sip of tea and started chatting with Chuchu. She was mainly buying time for Jiang Yingying, asking her to investigate as much as possible.

After a long time, Jiang Yingying came back and shook her head slightly at Tao Yanyan.

When Tao Yanyan saw this, he knew that she hadn't discovered anything, so he thought for a moment and asked Chuchu, "Chuchu, do you know what your Master Cangxuan has been busy with recently?"

I didn't hold out much hope at first, I just wanted to ask her one last time, but I didn't expect that she would actually get something out of me.

Chu Chu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Cang Xuan seemed to be in a very good mood recently. He went to Miss Long's room several times a day. Every time he came out, his eyes were red, as if he had been crying."

Tao Yanyan narrowed his eyes and said, "Can I go into Miss Long's room?"

Chuchu shook her head: "There is no key. The key is kept by Master Cangxuan himself."

After thinking for a moment, Tao Yanyan glanced at Jiang Yingying and said, "I want to eat the fried shaomai across the street. Go see if it's open. If it is, go in and buy some. If it's not open, just wait a while. Maybe the boss will come soon."

Jiang Yingying somehow understood Tao Yanyan's hint, which was asking her to find a way to check the locked room opposite.

She nodded, got up and walked out.

Tao Yanyan talked about music with Chuchu and waited patiently for Jiang Yingying to come back.

There weren't many people who could come up to the third floor, and now only Tao Yanyan, Chuchu and Jiang Yingying were on this floor.

Jiang Yingying could easily unlock the door. She took off the hairpin on her head and unlocked the door easily. After entering the room, she carefully observed the layout and knocked on the walls around her, but did not find any secret passages.

She was a little anxious and checked all the decorations one by one, but found nothing.

Suddenly, she moved her ears and heard someone walking towards her, and the footsteps were a little panicked. It was impossible for her to go out again after reaching the door, so she had to find a place to hide first.

Outside the door, Tao Yanyan had no choice but to reach out and lock it.

"Mrs. He?" Cang Xuan's anxious voice came from behind: "Why are you here?"
